Lyrics
Tied up in my own facade
I thought i had it made
Shooting stars and high end cars
Caught up in a masquerade
L.A. in the hills we spun
I was your only mate
Bases loaded we hit home runs
But i was acting like a fake!
NOW IT'S ALRIGHT IF YOU SEE THE REAL ME
WHO I AM, I NEVER LET YOU SEE
AND IT'S ALRIGHT IF YOU REALLY FEEL ME.
TURNED ON THE LIGHTS, MY CHARADE WAS OVER
Woke up with my hope caved in
Felt like i had to lie
So hard to be real with you
Tongue tied while my words collide
Posing like a mannequin
Held still from all the pain
Told my truth like rain it fell
That's what freed me from my cell
I tried to fool you; somehow I thought it made sense
My thirst to sooth you, I know can never be quenched
It's hard to keep my facts straight when I'm lying to you
Now you really know me, and I'm keeping it true!
